They cite security concerns - eBooks being pirated - but the Journal points out that eBooks never wear out, thus the libraries never need to purchase more copies as they do with physical books. It's a pretty confused message from Penguin, overall. As I said: crapping themselves. Cheers, Mark Hey George,

I'd like to say the advantages and disadvantages are multi-sided, but they are multi-sided, multi-layered and do I dare say multi-dimensional? It will be interesting to see where things are in ten years. George You are pointing out (rightly) what a crazy, mixed up business this is.
